3Introduction
Note: The Flex Net supplied with this system will stretch slightly during the first few uses.
This is a natural consequence of the headband fibers being stretched under tension.
During this break-in period, the headband and net body may sag during use. Simply
increase tension to remove the sag.
These instructions assume that the appropriate ground sleeves have been correctly
installed:
•The inside bottom surface of the ground sleeves must be 10” below ground level
(Figure 3-1).
•The PVB-1500 and PVB-5000 standards will fit most 3-1/2” inner diameter ground
sleeves (or 4” ID sleeves with adapter).
•The PVB 4500 will fit most 3’’ inner diameter ground sleeves.
•The Flex-Net will work with ground sleeves spaced 35’ to 37’ apart on center

.
Please consult the instructions and specifications supplied with your ground sleeves for
more information.
If you require additional information or support to install or operate your volleyball system,
please contact the Jaypro Sports customer support team, Monday through Friday,
8:30AM to 5:00 PM (EST), at 1-800-243-0533.

NCAA and NFHS rules require that the upright standards must be installed at least 3’3”
(1m) outside the court boundaries. Jaypro recommends 36’ spacing on center to satisfy
both regulations.
